Carol (Lindsey Coulson) was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year.
Since her diagnosis, the matriarch has started chemotherapy in an attempt to get better. Next week, Carol will discover that she is losing hair - how will she react?
Fans will also know that Carol has the faulty BRCA2 gene, meaning her daughters are in danger.
It has been speculated that either Bianca or Sonia is to have the cancer gene, which could be passed down to their children too.
EastEnders bosses are currently remaining tight-lipped with regards to this particular storyline.
Speaking on the future of this plot, Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: "She [Bianca or Sonia] reacts very differently to her mother.
"We don't want to scaremonger, we want to show every little moment of a woman going through this and the way it affects her children, brothers, sisters and parents."
Meanwhile, Coulson who plays Carol, commented on her character's journing: "The viewers will see it warts and all. Chemo is a toxic poison and you are not going to look great. People need to see that Carol is losing her hair. I'm for as much authenticity as possible."
This scene will air on Monday 31 March at 8pm on BBC One.
